About the Jagdtiger:
An order was issued by the German leader in May 1942 for the development of a new self-propelled armored vehicle mounting a 128mm gun. The resulting mighty vehicle was known as the Jagdtiger, a massive behemoth that weighed around 70 tons. There were two differing types produced initially, according to whether a Henschel or Porsche chassis was employed. The Porsche chassis had eight road wheels each side instead of the nine on the Henschel.
